When Nokia Was Everything
7 View2026-04-05It was 1999, and I was sitting on the toilet with my trusty CD player and Nokia 3310, busy playing Snake II, while the PS1 hadn't arrived yet.
My days were packed: between school, homework, and afternoons spent running around the yard with friends, every free moment was a small haven of freedom.
I remember the sound of CDs slowly spinning, the click of the Nokia's keys as I tried to beat my high score at Snake, and that subtle thrill of hearing the music envelop me while everything around me seemed to flow at a different pace.
There were no constant notifications, just the real world and those little devices that became companions in solitary and collective adventures.
In those days, every object had a special value. The Nokia wasn't just a phone: it was my portable console, my notebook of secrets, my bridge to faraway friends. And that CD player, with its cases stacked on the desk, was my personal playlist, made up of songs that today evoke instant nostalgia.
1999 Washington just any year: it was the last glimpse of an era in which technology was changing, but the magic was still simple.
Playing Snake II on the toilet, listening to music at full blast, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the PS1 at home... these were small, great things that, looking at them today, seem like enormous worlds of freedom and lightheartedness.
